Words by Greg(creator of this cam)

I love taking pictures with my analogue camera, but I still often find myself going back to use my smartphone, just for the ease of uploading and saving pictures to my computer. Recently a number of people have started designing lenses for smartphone cameras that give the effect of a fisheye lens, but these are often poorly made and can be lost as they are loosely attached with magnets.


Fisheye lenses are often expensive, and so far the only way to get a fisheye effect on a point and shoot is to DIY your own lens using a door viewer, as until now it was not thought possible to combine the lens within the body of a compact digital camera.


This tiny camera (really!) will allow you to quickly reach into your pocket and take a quick snap, grabbing all those amazing moments with your compact fisheye lens - for the fraction of the price of a dslr lens. It also has a timelapse feature allowing for cool starry night images and can take video!


Theres also no screen at the back, so you'll always have a surprise when uploading the photos onto your computer!


I've had to limit the number of cameras that will be available on the order to 1000, as this is the max number I could realistically handle alone without employing anyone else on this project. Depending on the success of this project, I may consider a second run of the product but until then please consider this a one-off product run on a limited edition camera!


Features


- 170 degree lens
- 2mp-12mp camera (this setting can be changed to allow for quicker snaps or higher quality)
- time lapse mode (can be set from 1 photo every second, to 1 photo every 7 days)
